so am i getting what im paying for ? im on spectrums “internet ultra”
241 up / 940 down (Google Fiber)
Which is strange, why is my download speed so slow right now? I guess heavy usage in the area, this being late evening?
ETA: speakeasy.net shows 928 down / 193 up. Does speedtest.net use a reverse definition of upload vs download??
Not that I see. I have pretty much the same numbers on both. Downloaded is reported first; upload second.
ETA: Wait, you reported the first as 241 up and 940 down, which is in reverse order, but labeled correctly. So you got 940/241 on speedtest and 928/193 on speakeasy, so the numbers are similar.
Thanks for the correction, but I think I just wrote it wrong, I think it was 940 upload 241 download.
Right now I’m getting 420 down / 910 up on speedtest, and 700 down / 110 up on speakeasy. Maybe it’s just limited by the connection between the local fiber network and each server.
130.70 down, 5.88 up with my el cheapo Comcast plan. Seems like I should be doing some fancy internetting with all that speed, but I don’t know what that would(or could) be.
I wish they would let me cut those speeds AND my price by half or more. Google tells me that only about 4Mbps is necessary to watch videos, which I rarely do except for the odd Youtube link the SDMB sends me to.
139 down
48 up
We have fiber to the street, existing copper wire from the street to our building. Swisscom now but earlier we had cable, which was half that.
Here at work:
Down 934.20
Up 921.40
55.1 down, 7.11 up
I’m staying with relatives who think the internet is a new fad. This is painfully slow.
13.3 down. Honestly. Xfinity, we need to talk!
I also need to upgrade this ancient laptop.
522 down/426 up. This is at my office. We recently upgraded. I wasn’t aware how good it was until I checked just now.
My home internet is considerably slower, but it works for me.
What on earth are you doing that you perceive 55 Mbps as “painfully slow”? That’s enough for 2 simultaneous 4K video streams.
Video games are often ~100 GB. That’s 4 hours at 55 Mbps. It’s painful if you just bought a game and want to play it now.
Also, plenty of web pages these days are several megabytes. That may only be a second or two to download the content, but that is more than enough to make the web feel not so “snappy”.
I’m skeptical that the servers delivering typical webpage content are generally fast enough that ISP speed is the limiting factor.
My husband works from home (computer industry), so that eats a chunk of bandwidth. Throw in my parents watching movies, my son and daughter playing games, and I can’t get the Dope to load without switching to my phone hotspot. 
Eh:

Well, its only getting 460 Mbps instead of the ~900 that I get at Speedtest, but that’s still pretty good. Pretty much everyone uses fast CDN edge servers now. This image was from a random cell phone camera article on The Verge.
Back in San Juan PR for a couple of days. From my observations:
On the CATV box: between 20M and 60M down depending on when, consistently between 14 and 18M up
On the DSL through conventional old-school twisted copper pair: consistently 3.9M down, 680K up
I live in an exurban, fairly rural part of Connecticut. We had DSL before we moved to our current address (living in the same town), but couldn’t get it when we moved to our new house because it was a new neighborhood, and the phone company based DSL availability solely on whether your address was in their database (which it wasn’t, because it was a new neighborhood). :rolleyes:
Anyway, I finally gave up on the phone company and switched to the cable company shortly after we moved. This ended up being a good move, as least as far as internet speed is concerned. Our speed has regularly increased over time. It is now more than 10x faster than a decade ago. Current speeds are as follows:
Download: 248 Mbps
Upload: 11.5 Mbps
Down 94 Mbps
Up 12
Xfinity/Chicago.
I haven’t checked my line speeds for years. The connection is always more than fast enough for me.
Must be nice getting those fast speeds.
I barely get 9 Mbs and 1.5 up with AT&T UVerse
I’ll check it again after I get home.
At home I pay Verizon Fios for 75/75. When I checked last night I got 84.02/86.28 on Ookla, so good job Verizon, even if your website still sucks. (suburban DC, Maryland side)
